Knees Lyrics[Verse 1]
I tried to climb the latter
Of the bruised and of the battered
Of the loved one that I should have left behind
I'll tell you what you want to hear
Knowing that there's more but it's unclear
Of the phrases that are left undefined
[Pre-Chorus]
It gets hard
It gets hard
To do what's right
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you, but I do
I don't want to need you, cut you loose
I don't want you when you're down on your knees
I don't want you when you're hard to please
[Verse 2]
Don't tell me what I want to hear
I'm tired of the stream of tears
You love to beg on borrowed thoughts of mine
(Love to beg, love to beg, love to beg)
I tried to open up the door
But you take and you take and you just want more
I slam it in your face, a last goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
It gets hard
It gets hard
To do what's right
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you, but I do
I don't want to need you, cut you loose
I don't want you when you're down on your knees
I don't want you when you're hard to please
You might also like[Bridge]
I'm wishing I could erase you
I'm wishing I could replace you
[Chorus]
I don't want to love you, but I do
I don't want to need you, cut you loose
I don't want you when you're down on your knees
I don't want you when you're hard to please
I don't want to love you, but I do
I don't want to need you, cut you loose
[Outro]
I'm wishing I could erase you
